Couple not married, one dies who plans funeral?

Couple not married, one dies who plans funeral?
I am currently engaged and am composing a will and an advanced directive. If I should die, will my partner be allowed to plan my funeral if I specify it in my will or will my parents?

If you make specific funeral arrangements in a will, or any document incorporated into a will, the executor is bound legally to follow those instructions. Your parents and others should be made aware of your wishes as soon as possible.
